There may be more than one.
This is a true statement. Warbuckle says to Bruno "Say, why don't you stay for a few more days?" To "extend a stay" is to prolong the time you are staying somewhere or with someone. Warbuckle is asking Bruno to stay with him for a few more days.
This statement is false. Bruno tells Warbuckle that if he makes a few changes to his spending habits, that he's "bound to get (his) financial situation sorted out in no time". If something happens "in no time", it means that it happens very quickly. Also, the "be bound to" construction used by Bruno indicates that an action is "almost certain" to occur.
This statement is false. To "quote (Winston Churchill)" is to repeat a line originally spoken by Churchill, probably a famous one. Bruno does use a proverb in this conversation ("you have to learn to crawl before you can walk"), however Bruno is uncertain who originally used the adage. Warbuckle asks whether it was "Confucius or Socrates" who said this, however Bruno replies that it could have been "Mick Jagger", but that he isn't sure. Although a famous Chinese philosopher (Confucius) is mentioned, it is not because Bruno is "quoting" him.
This is a true statement. Warbuckle begins this dialogue by saying "I suppose I should start exercising a bit of fiscal restraint". The term "fiscal" refers to financial matters in general. To "exercise restraint" means to behave more carefully or "prudently". Here Warbuckle acknowledges that he should try to be more careful with his money.

1 stayed: This is the correct answer. Here the verb "to stay" is used in the same context as in the conversation, meaning to live somewhere temporarily (as a visitor or a guest). When the clerk asks "How many nights will you be staying with us?" she wants to know how many nights Bruno and Donna will be sleeping at the hotel.
1 rested: We do not use "rested" in this context. In English the verb "to rest" generally expresses the sense of relaxation or repose. The verb is rarely used to express the duration of a stay or the act of staying somewhere.
2 Stay: This is correct. The expression "stay here" is a request or command to remain in the same place or not to move. The verb "to stay" is used here to describe remaining in one place or simply being stationary. For example "I stayed there for 3 hours, but my date didn't come". Note that when the clerk asks "How many nights will you be staying with us?" she is using "stay" in a different context: she wants to know how many nights Bruno and Donna will be sleeping at the hotel.
2 Rest: We cannot use "rest" in this context. In English the verb "to rest" generally expresses the sense of relaxation or repose. The verb is rarely used to express the duration of a stay or the act of staying somewhere.
3 rest: This is correct. In this context "to rest" means to stop work (or activity) in order to recover, relax or gain strength. In this example, the doctor's advice to the patient is to stop working so that he can recover and his back will heal.
3 stay: We cannot use "to stay" in this context. The verb "to stay" has many uses in English, however it can't be used to describe the act of recovering or relaxing after an injury or illness. In another context, we might say "the doctor told me to stay in bed for a few days" which would mean that the doctor instructed me to remain in bed.
4 stay: This is correct. In this context, the verb "to stay" means to continue doing (something). More specifically this sentence indicates that shops are open or continue to do business on Christmas day. It also implies that it is not normal or customary for certain shops to do business on this day. Note that when the clerk asks "How many nights will you be staying with us?" she wants to know how many nights Bruno and Donna will be sleeping at the hotel.
4 rest: We cannot use "rest" in this context. In English the verb "to rest" generally expresses the sense of relaxation or repose.
5 staying: This is correct. It is common to ask someone where they are "staying" while visiting a place such as New York. In this context, the verb "to stay" expresses the sense of sleeping or living somewhere (at a hotel, or with a friend, for example)
5 resting: The verb "to rest" can't be used in this context. In English the verb "to rest" generally expresses the sense of relaxation or repose.

"We wish you a pleasant stay in London".
From the list below, choose the sentences which use the noun "stay" correctly.
From the list below, choose the sentences which use the noun "stay" correctly.
"We wish you a pleasant stay in London".
From the list below, choose the sentences which use the noun "stay" correctly.
From the list below, choose the sentences which use the noun "stay" correctly.
This is incorrect. The expression "on stay" is grammatically incorrect. This sentence should read "I'm going on holiday to Cornwall this summer" (UK) or "I'm going on vacation to Cornwall this summer" (US). Cornwall is a lovely region in South-West England.
This sentence uses the term "stay" correctly. The noun "a stay" refers to a "visit" or a "sojourn". In this example, the "stay" describes a weekend spent at a health centre.
This is a correct use of the term "stay". As a noun, "a stay" means a "stop", "visit", or "short residence" somewhere. In this example, the "stay" is a holiday in Eastern Europe.
Esercizio 4
Imagine that you are lucky enough to be on holiday in London.
You meet a Londoner in the street who asks you, "Where are you staying?". The best response to this question would be: .
You meet a Londoner in the street who asks you, "Where are you staying?". The best response to this question would be: .
Imagine that you are lucky enough to be on holiday in London.
You meet a Londoner in the street who asks you, "Where are you staying?". The best response to this question would be: I've booked a room at The Sunshine Hotel..
You meet a Londoner in the street who asks you, "Where are you staying?". The best response to this question would be: I've booked a room at The Sunshine Hotel..
I've booked a room at The Sunshine Hotel.: This is the best choice here. To "be staying somewhere" means to be "living temporarily" at this place. Example: "I'm staying with friends at the moment, and I have a bad back because I'm sleeping on the sofa". Note that we should always use the present continuous tense in this expression: we do not say "I stay".
I came to London by plane.: This is an inappropriate response. The question "where are you staying?" does not ask about modes of transport. Rather, it concerns location.
I'll be here for two weeks.: This is an inappropriate response. The question "where are you staying?" does not ask about time or duration. Rather, it concerns location.
I live in France.: This is an inappropriate response. You are on holiday in London when you are asked where you are "staying". Perhaps you come from France originally, but this is not an appropriate answer to the question "where are you staying?".

1 quite: This is correct. "Rather" is synonymous with "quite", "somewhat", or "a little" in this context. For example: "It was rather dark in the office after we turned off the lights".
1 hardly: This is incorrect. "Rather" is not synonymous with "hardly". "Hardly" means the same thing as "barely", "only just", or "not very much". For example: "You've hardly eaten anything! Are you sick?"
1 instantly: This is incorrect. "Rather" is not synonymous with "instantly". "Instantly" means "immediately" or "right away".
2 considered leaving: This is the correct answer. "To contemplate" and "to consider" are synonymous in this context. Both terms mean to "think about" or "reflect" on/about something. For example "My brother is contemplating moving to France for his job".
2 decided to leave: This is incorrect. "To decide to do something" is to "make a decision" that you will do it. This expresses certainty, whereas when you "consider doing something", you are not sure if you will do it.
2 wanted to leave: This is incorrect. "To want to" is not synonymous with "to contemplate". If somebody is contemplating doing something, they don't know whether they want to do it or not yet.
3 stay: This is the right choice. "To remain" and "to stay" are synonymous in this context. For example: "I know I slept with your wife, but I hope we can remain friends."
3 be discussed: This is not the correct choice. "To remain" is not synonymous with "to discuss". If a topic is "discussed", then it is "talked" or "spoken" about. For example: "Brian's schedule needs to be discussed in the morning meeting!".
3 be understood: This is not the right answer. "To remain" is not synonymous with "to understand"."To be understood" is "to be comprehended". For example: "The rules of the office need to be understood by all employees".
